Known for American Lager

Pabst Brewing Company is an American brewing group with roots in Milwaukee, founded in 1844 by Jacob Best. Under the Pabst name from 1889 it grew into one of the largest breweries in the United States. Today it is a holding company with its head office in San Antonio, Texas; the beers are contract-brewed at partner sites in the U.S. and, since 2020, at the company's own Milwaukee craft brewery. The group's brand portfolio spans a wide range of North American heritage labels alongside Pabst Blue Ribbon.
